I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

If you want to hold a pay-to-win event that will make everyone willing to pay, now is the best time.

"what happened?"

"Shall we hold our first official popularity poll?"

Ye Ming said happily:

“It is divided into two tracks, Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd, allowing players to vote for their favorite characters, and then design a set of skins for the characters with the highest votes.”

"Is there any difference between this and selling our own skins?"

Yulandel asked, having already taken out a pen and paper to start taking notes.

"The results chosen by the players themselves will give them a sense of accomplishment, so they won't feel that we are trying to cheat them."

"Not only that, this is equivalent to players doing market research for us. Making skins for the most popular characters is a sure win."

Although I am no longer short of money, there is still pleasure in making money.

"It would be nice if we could buy a villa island someday and go on vacation together."

——Indeed, it is convenient to eat oysters when living by the sea.

"Who do you think will be the most popular one?"

After the event was launched, everyone started discussing it.

"Ye Ming, what do you think?"

"If it's about collapse, it's still Kiana, right?"

As he spoke, Ye Ming glanced at Qiana. She was stunned at first, then smiled shyly.

"Kiana has really changed a lot."

Ah Ci couldn't help but comment:

"In the past, she would have jumped out and said something confidently."

"Speaking of Kiana's story, doesn't Mei have great potential as well?"

Nashida also joined in:

"The Herrscher of Thunder has a very good reputation and good traffic. I think he has a chance to reach the top."

"Seele's flow is higher! Bronya thinks Seele will definitely be the first."

Speaking of running water, Jizi thought of the pond she and the Herrscher of the Sky shared:

"What if the person with the most votes is Xilin?"

"Then design a skin. The ship character and the game plot are not the same thing."

Ye Ming said frankly:

"Otherwise, do you want to take your True Crimson Knight, Eclipse, back from the players?"

"It's not impossible."

Ji Zi offered a plan:

"After logging in, the player will receive an email with the crystals required to extract the True Red Knight in the attachment."

"Then the email said that the Valkyrie's body could not be found, the armor was missing, and the resources were returned."

"Wouldn't it be more immersive this way?"

Hearing Ji Zi's plan, Ye Ming called him an expert:

"Who did you learn this from..."

"With you." Ji Zi said simply.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Kiana couldn't hold it anymore:

"Didn't they say that Mr. Himeko is just missing?"

"After the player's character is recycled, what should we do if he appears again in the later plot?"

Mei and Bronya also nodded:

"Ye Ming, although I know you are not a good person, you should not be so ruthless in this matter."

"What does it have to do with me? This is Ji Zi's plan, okay?"

After hearing what Kiana and the others said, Ji Zi remembered that Ye Ming had promised that he would still appear.

At that time, everyone in the studio also informed others through barrage.

"I'm curious about how you plan to resolve this."

Ji Zi had a headache and said:

"Can you survive if you fall into the imaginary space in that state?"

"I'm not sure either. You pulled me out when I was halfway down."

Ye Ming really didn't have any personal experience of this, and he had no intention of completing this plot anyway.

"Okay, okay, let's get back to the topic. Recycling characters is definitely not an option. If we really do that, the game will be reported and taken down."

"However, Ji Zi's creative way of increasing the sense of immersion has given me a lot of inspiration. When Ji Zi returns, I will organize some activities for the players."

Don't ask, just ask what the person involved thinks.

"By the way, what about the original gods? Any idea about who is the most popular?"

"Didn't I say that before?"

Keqing said enviously:

"Ganyu, Hu Tao, and Ying... the champion will definitely emerge from these three."

"Oh yeah, there's a new skin."

"I guess everyone has skin after this, except for one person, and that's me."

She seemed to have gotten used to this kind of atmosphere... of being told, "You're not allowed to attend the party!"

"I will definitely give you a new skin during the Lantern Festival."

"Don't take me too seriously. I'm just complaining. I know I should work on myself for this kind of thing."

Keqing smiled self-deprecatingly:

"Ye Ming, just follow your own business layout."

During this period, Keqing has been challenging herself to clear the Abyss, and she will post a video every time she reaches full stars.

She is truly using practical actions to increase her popularity little by little.

"It's just that if I can be recognized one day, maybe I can encourage more people like me who are not favored."

What Ye Ming didn't know was that Keqing had already added Raven as a friend, and the two of them were in contact frequently, sharing their illnesses as victims of persecution.

···········

"The voting results are in!"

On the day of the deadline, everyone in the studio huddled together, looking forward to the final result.

"I bet on a finger-licking original chicken, it's definitely Kiana."

"You bet on this because it's Thursday."

"I guess it's definitely Xi'er!"

"Ying, if you win this time, remember to sample the new skins..."

With different thoughts in mind, everyone clicked on the results.

"???"

"Isn't this right?"

Ye Ming looked at the popularity rankings and shouted with a headache:

“Why am I number one in the vote for the characters of Genshin Impact and Honkai Impact 3rd?”

159.So what is the champion skin?

"There's not even an Easter egg for me in the game, how can I join the group?"

Seeing that he ranked first in both popularity votes, Ye Ming felt as if a thousand calamities were yelling in his head.

"I'm clearly not on the voting list!"

At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly discovered a clue from the voting page.

After all the character options, there is an "Other" option.

Once this option is checked, a new dialog box will appear below where you can fill in the content freely.

"Bronya..."

"Wait, this isn't Bronya's fault."

Bronya explained innocently:

"All voting systems on the market now use this code as a template. Isn't it normal to have another option?"

"That's true..."

Think about it, whether it is entertainment, catering, satisfaction surveys, feedback...

When it comes to voting, there will basically be this other option. After all, it is difficult for the party initiating the vote to take into account the opinions of everyone.

But if the purpose is to rank the number of votes, the content in "Others" is usually just a background board.

After all, it is not as intuitive as options, and it is difficult for everyone to fill in consistent information, and the number of votes will not be very high.

"So, most people wrote my name in the other column without any prior agreement?"

Being able to rank first on both lists is outrageous not only in the history of gaming, but also a heavyweight in the entire voting community.

“If the first place in popularity voting for two games is the same person, does that mean only one skin can be released?”

"Oh, right. In this case, wouldn't that mean we can earn half as much?"

Hearing everyone's discussion, Ye Ming sighed:

"What are you thinking? Of course, no skin will be released."

"The prerequisite for releasing a skin is that you have to have this character in the game..."

"Who will buy my skin? Will you buy it?"

Hearing Ye Ming's question, everyone in the studio nodded in unison.

Aci also added:

“I guess everyone will be willing to buy it.”

"Wait... Let's not talk about why you want to buy my skin..."

Ye Ming rubbed his brows and said:

“Even if we really make skins and sell them, how can we implement them into the game?”

"What are you going to do?"

"Of course the ranking will be postponed. The second place will be given a skin, and the first place will be invalidated."

After much thought, this is the safest approach.

"I'll make a public announcement at that time, saying that there were some minor issues with the voting and that the first place winner cannot be crowned."

"For the benefit of the majority of players, and for the normal operation of the game...blah blah blah..."

"Leave the public relations to Rita and Yulandel. Be sincere. This matter was not our fault in the first place. Everyone will understand."

After seeing Mihoyo’s official announcement, players began to express their disappointment.

【Why don't you give us Ye Ming's skin】

[This is the result of the vote, why not give it a chance?]
